Book Review: "The Life and Times of the Apple"

Life & Times Of The Apple by Charles Micucci

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a great little book full of information. I picked it up at the library to read to the children because it is apple season and we had just been picking apples off our tree. I found that I learned a lot about how apples reproduce and grow. The book explains in pretty good detail the parts of an apple blossom and how it is pollinated at a level that even my younger children could understand.



My only complaint about the book it has to go an say that apple trees have been growing on the earth for 2 1/2 million years and shows this on a timeline, as well. I don't believe the theory that the earth has evolved over millions of years and did not see the need to present this as a "fact." But that is a whole different discussion that doesn't pertain to this review. Anyway, this opened the door to discussion in this area with the kids.



Overall, the book is full of great color drawings, interestng information, and was a pleasure to read with the kids.
